Technical FAQs 4

Can IGBTs be used in a solar inverter?

These topologies use IGBTs as the power discrete semiconductor of choice for achieving high eficiency and high reliability. This application note presents how Bourns® Trench-Gate Field-Stop (TGFS) IGBTs with co-packaged Fast Recovery Diodes (FRDs) can be used in a solar inverter application to enable eficient power conversion.

Are insulated-gate bipolar transistors a good choice for solar inverter applications?

For solar inverter applications, it is well known that insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) ofer benefits compared to other types of power devices, like high-current-carrying capability, gate control using voltage instead of current and the ability to match the co-pack diode with the IGBT.

How to choose a solar inverter?

Selecting the right IGBT power semiconductor, the most fitting electrical configuration and the most reliable power module packaging is vital for the design and performance of the solar inverter, whether for a residential or commercial string inverter or a utility-scale central inverter.

What is IGBT power module?

The IGBT power module plays a significant role in photovoltaic systems as it inverts the direct current coming from the sunlight directly into alternating current to be fed into the power grid. Voltage systems in solar applications have now reached 1500 V compared to 600 V less than a decade ago.
